I was tinkering around logistic map today, I accidentally discovered a property of it. That is, if you look at histogram of the sequence generated by it, it will be same independent of the input. This immediately hit me that there may be an underlying probability density of this map. In fact, after Googled, I found out that Ulam and von Neumann studied this! So here we go.
